Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

He couldn't help but get excited about this.

Seeing the other's expression, Tanjiro Kamado knew what he was thinking and gave a reminder:

"This is just a technique that can temporarily provide power, so you don't need to have such high expectations."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's expression calmed down, and he nodded, saying:

"In that case, when do you plan to start teaching?"

"Let's do it tomorrow afternoon. Everyone has been fighting for so long tonight, they need to get some rest."

Tanjiro Kamado said that he was still worried about the pot of medicine that he hadn't finished brewing.

"Alright, since Tanjiro has said so, I don't think anyone here has any objections, right?"

Tanjiro Kamado looked around and spoke.

Everyone shook their heads repeatedly.

Although they appeared calm, they were actually quite excited. After all, anyone familiar with the history of the Demon Slayer Corps would know how they were able to fight against demons.

That is, the breathing technique that appeared two hundred years ago changed the situation in which mankind was always at a disadvantage when facing evil spirits.

Now that Tanjiro Kamado is about to unleash another powerful technique, how could they not be excited?

Tanjiro Kamado had previously single-handedly defeated so many demons, which had left them feeling resentful. Now that he could demonstrate his strength, they were naturally eager to agree.

"Alright, in that case, let's come here again tomorrow afternoon, and also gather some of the team members we had our eye on before, so we can all listen to Tanjiro explain his techniques!"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki gave the final decision.

The group agreed.

"Then let's disband here."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice announced the end of the Hashirama meeting.

Tanjiro Kamado also got up and left.

Just after leaving the Ubuyashiki mansion, a voice called out to Tanjiro Kamado.

Tanjiro Kamado turned around and looked at the newcomer, Shinobu Kocho.

"What's wrong, Miss Shinobu?"

Tanjiro Kamado asked with some confusion.

Shinobu Kocho paused slightly, then bowed to Tanjiro Kamado:

"I wanted to thank you."

Tanjiro Kamado recalled Shinobu Kocho's expression when he faced Doma earlier, and he vaguely understood something.

He waved his hand and said:

"Whether it's related to your hatred or not, I will still kill Doma. This matter is nothing to me, so you don't need to take it to heart."

After saying this, Tanjiro Kamado left without waiting for Shinobu Kocho's reply.

Shinobu Kocho stood there for a long time. To her, Doma was the one who killed her closest relative, her older sister, and her hatred for Doma grew stronger every day.

Upon learning that Doma had indeed been defeated by Tanjiro Kamado, she felt as if many things weighing on her heart had disappeared, and she experienced a long-lost sense of relief.

Although she knew that this sense of relaxation was very inappropriate in the face of the impending great battle, she genuinely felt that way.

However, she still harbored hatred for the evil spirits, since her parents and sister had died because of them, so she continued to hold onto her hatred for them.

However, the trace of hatred that Tanjiro Kamado had previously harbored had vanished without a trace.

After all, she still harbors resentment about her sister's situation. If her sister were to become a demon, would she end up like Tanjiro Kamado? Or perhaps even worse?

Shinobu Kocho didn't know, but she now knew how she should treat Tanjiro Kamado.

"I will definitely use all my knowledge to help your sister experience the effects of sunlight."

Butterfly made up her mind.

Her attitude towards Nezuko was already a fait accompli. She didn't expect Tanjiro Kamado to forgive her, but she did want to do her part for Tanjiro Kamado's wish.

……

Tanjiro Kamado returned to the Butterfly Mansion.

Demon Slayer Corps members have begun cleaning up the mess in front of the Butterfly Mansion.

After all, Doma's attack caused considerable damage to the entire area, so in order not to affect normal passage, this area naturally needs to be cleared before repairs are carried out.

These team members were of little use when facing the Upper Moon demons before, so now they are naturally working hard with all their might.

When the team members saw Tanjiro Kamado, they were immediately filled with respect:

"Mr. Kamado, you've worked hard!"

The team members immediately gave a deep 90-degree bow.

Tanjiro Kamado's feat of killing Upper Moon Six was already known to everyone, and the loud announcement tonight made it clear to them what great thing Tanjiro Kamado had done tonight.

"You guys go ahead."

Tanjiro Kamado nodded; many people had been in the same situation over the past two months.

At first, he wasn't used to it, but as time went on, he got used to it.

It's worth mentioning that Tanjiro Kamado was actually already a Pillar, but because no suitable title had been decided upon, and at Tanjiro's insistence, Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't officially make him a Pillar.

However, all the Demon Slayer Corps members naturally knew about this long-standing issue long ago, so they only showed admiration to Tanjiro Kamado and the others.

Upon hearing Tanjiro Kamado's words, the Demon Slayer Corps members' faces lit up with excitement, and they worked with renewed vigor.

Tanjiro Kamado paid no attention to any of this. He walked into the Butterfly Mansion and quickly headed towards the place where he used to live.

Soon, he saw Kurihana Kanao standing in front of the pot of medicine.

Hearing footsteps, Kanao Tsuyuri turned around and nodded when she saw it was Tanjiro Kamado.

"Thank you for watching over the fire for me."

Tanjiro Kamado sat down next to the other person and spoke.

"What I did was nothing at all. But you, you killed so many Upper Moon demons. That's really impressive."

Kanao Tsukihana rarely speaks, so her praise of Tanjiro Kamado this time naturally reflects her true feelings.

"It's nothing, I'm just putting what I've learned into practice. I still have a lot of shortcomings."

Tanjiro Kamado shook his head.

My family knows their own affairs.

He knew that his cultivation progress was still too slow, both in terms of internal energy and emotional energy.

Having witnessed Kokushibo's strength today, he now has a clear understanding of Muzan Kibutsuji's power.

Lin Yu had told him back then that Muzan Kibutsuji was definitely not on the same level as these Upper Moon demons.

If it weren't for the limitation of sunlight, Muzan Kibutsuji could have worn down all the Pillar-level swordsmen, including Tanjiro Kamado, to death.

After learning about this, Tanjiro Kamado naturally understood the gap between himself and Muzan Kibutsuji.

Knowing him now is far from enough.

If only I could blast Kokushibo to pieces with a single punch.

Tanjiro Kamado thought to himself.

Kanao Tsukihana naturally had no idea what Tanjiro Kamado was really thinking.

After watching the slowly burning flames for a while, she spoke:

"You don't need to say that. You've taken down Upper Moon Two, and my sister will definitely be very grateful to you."

“Your sister has already told me.”

Kamado Tanjiro replied.

The room fell silent again.

Half a day later, Kanao Tsuyuri finally spoke again:

"I'm actually very grateful to you. Although I didn't spend as much time with Kanae as I did with Shinobu, I really hate the demon who killed Kanae. So, thank you."

"Then we'll consider it canceling each other out."

Tanjiro Kamado casually remarked, as he was currently reviewing the previous battle.

This has become a habit for him. After all, many things are useless to talk about; only by experiencing them firsthand can one truly understand them.

When Kanao Tsuyuri heard Tanjiro Kamado say that, she immediately fell silent. However, after a short while, she turned to look at the boy beside her.

The boy's profile glowed in the firelight, his clear eyes sparkling as if he were deep in thought.

Kurihana Kanao didn't disturb the other person, but silently thought to herself that she should definitely help the other person well.

At least we should get this pot of medicine ready.

Silence fell over the room once again.

As dawn broke in the east, a new day had clearly begun.
